Womanist leadership center awarded grant

The Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership has received a three-year, $400,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.

“This grant will support our programmatic agenda to shape the next generation of Black women seminarians, graduate students of religion, clergy, and theological faculty who seek to demystify hidden manifestations of systemic oppression and address persistent and effective strategies of justice-making,” said center director Melanie Jones, in a press release.
